2.2. Installing the Software
The vMax software requires that you have Administrator rights to the computer to
install and uninstall the software although non-administrator users can run the
software.
Both versions of the software, vMax and vMax with Tracking software, let you
playback and manage the video clips recorded on a DVR.
Additionally, vMax with Tracking software obtains GPS data from the video clips and
shares it with the MapPoint software to display the position of the vehicle during
video playback. MapPoint software launches in a separate window so that one of the
camera views is not used up. (See “Using the Map View Window” on page 3–1.)
Table 2-2 identifies the steps in installing the vMax software. Installing the vMax with
Tracking software includes the additional step of installing the Microsoft MapPoint
2009 software.
To install the vMax software, see “Installing the vMax Software” on page 2–3.
To install the vMax with Tracking software, see “Installing the vMax with Tracking
Software” on page 2–7.
2.2.1. Installing the vMax Software
To install the vMax software on your computer automatically:
1. Close all programs and temporarily disable any virus protection software running
on your computer.
2. Insert the vMax software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
The autorun.exe program should launch automatically on your computer.
If the installer does not launch automatically, run the program called CDAuto.exe
from your CD. Click on My Computer on your desktop and click on the CD drive.
Double click on the CDAuto.exe program.
